Just found this thread now. Looks like a mint car mate, really enjoyed reading it. Should look good with those HID's in. Hope you get your paint problems sorted out, does just ruin a good car making it look untidy. Im liking the black roof idea aswel, would look stunning.

Thanks Andy cool of you to stop and comment, will have to get some pictures up of the HID’s at night
and just got my car back at the weekend after the re-spray think if I was going down the black wheel look then the black roof would have looked smart but just went down the all over yellow standard look lol

lol and back on the hunt my self for “shiny things” again! Will get some pictures up of the car when its had a good all over clean
A brilliant read! I'm in the same boat with an ovni yellow LCR. I thought PC'ing it and generally 'making do' would be enough but everyone now seems to be strongly considering resprays...... Just when I've nearly completed my wish list...... it seems to never stop growing Love the car mate. Good luck with what ever you decide

I was the same, little bits on the car *paint work* you kind of turn a blind eye
and when you clean it and wax does not looook that bad… ish! lol but my hand was kind of forced with the lacquer peeling off like a snake skin! You will have to get some pictures up of your car mate!
And this is what i found when just random checking my rear brake disc......
this is the inside of it, had nooooo indication from braking that there was a prob or anything and only passed its M.O.T few weeks ago.....

Well after changing my front pads and rear discs/pads looks like the drivers side rear caliper is fooked ….could not push the caliper piston back in and to be fair looks like only one side has been doing any work and its pushed it self rite out with the pad worn down to the limit “starting to fall out with this car” 
.....new caliper....
and new disc fitted
new caliper on just need 2 finish off with my red paint lol

It is a stock rear caliper Audi "4 rings stamp" on the side part made my Lucas which is the same as the old one I took off and matching the other caliper on the passenger side rear
Your rear disc looks a lot worse than mine! My pad was down to the metal but the disc was fine - I just forced the piston back in using the windback tool (I'm quite a big guy and it took me and my bro, one putting pressure on the windback tool and the other giving a couple of chaps to tease it back in!)
Hasn't given me any problems yet! but looking to get a new caliper. I read some sources afterwards (Briskoda, VW Vortex) who were suggesting that it's the buildup over time from irregular fluid changes.

My pads was just about down to the metal to but other side was ok just think the caliper had pushed it self maybe 2far and been pushed out for to long and just ceased.
Fingers crossed yours will be ok I keep checking mine every time I park up lol
Think that will be my next thing when I get paid “skint now”
lol fluid change!!Similar threads
